Sorry about that, misplaced my charger for my digicam and couldn't get my pics back out.

Here she is.

Sloan · 03-08-2004, 10:15 PM

Here is proof that you can repaint the grille on the 60.

The guy said the grille bugged him it looked so bad that he took it back off and painted it.

Sloan · 03-08-2004, 10:16 PM

GloNDark · 03-08-2004, 10:16 PM

wow, looks great

Nice color choice.

Sloan · 03-08-2004, 10:17 PM

Sloan · 03-08-2004, 10:19 PM

DOH! Here is the grille again.

You want to talk to Mark, he is a stand up guy that does above and beyond work. He repainted my hitch and the entire frame. He repainted all the trim on the truck, I cannot describe how stoked I am about the paint job.

ranger · 03-08-2004, 10:22 PM

That looks awesome!

Sloan · 03-08-2004, 10:57 PM

The only problem now is that the interior looks kinda shabby compared to the shiny new paint.

Getting her steam cleaned this weekend.

dieselcruiserhead · 03-08-2004, 11:30 PM

Hot damn, who would have thought shit brown looked so good!

rufio · 03-09-2004, 12:39 AM

good looking paint...like the dukey brown...looks kick a#$!

wngrog · 03-09-2004, 04:07 AM

Great choice of colors Sloan! I did it! Super clean.

Deep South Cruisers · 03-09-2004, 06:15 AM

nice job, man I like that color

Bertha the Cruiser · 03-09-2004, 06:48 AM

Wow Great lookin rig! Specs? (paint color aside)

Beanie · 03-09-2004, 08:15 AM

Damn, that looks good, I agree with Diesel, I didn't think brown could look good, but DAMN it does!

roctoy · 03-09-2004, 02:02 PM

Sweet paint. New assignment: lift it, lock it, and beat the shit out of it

BJ On Roids · 03-09-2004, 05:07 PM

I like it, it is a clean 60. I never though anyone would choose poo brown as a colour though..... I thought the 80s had ended that. I have a poo brown interior on my car and it makes me hate the 80s.

LCL · 03-09-2004, 06:29 PM

That's the best lookin' brown cruiser I've seen. Maybe I missed it
in an earlier discusison, but how much did it cost total?

74_Chevota · 03-09-2004, 07:02 PM

Sweet! New paint to scrape off! Looks good man. I like the brown idea now alot more now that i have seen it actauly done well.

Sloan · 03-09-2004, 07:27 PM

That is her factory original color, so Toyota kinda chose it for me. I picked her up a few years back for $1000, just needed a tune-up and a smog pump. I have a 3" Dobinson lift on it, those are the Sahara Edition non USA wheels that are 15x8, with 33-10.5 BFG M/Ts, an ARB bull bar to go on and a Warn HS 9500. By the end of the year I'll regear to 4.56s and at least an ARB locker in the rear.

creaky · 03-11-2004, 02:13 PM

Hey Sloan - Know what you mean about having to redo the interior. Just got my 60 repainted to factory silver and now that cracked dash, torn seat and battery acid stained carpet don't cut it no more. You know guys in LA to clean up interiors w/out taking a second on the pink slip?

BumperJumper · 03-11-2004, 03:37 PM

That's a helluva paint job. How much did it set you back? I'm kinda toying with the idea of having mine done up in a deep green, just so I can get rid of and seal the thousands of spots of body rust and have a nice clean paint job again.

Bertha the Cruiser · 03-11-2004, 05:51 PM

I'm interested in those wheels...can I get a better pic?

kief · 03-11-2004, 07:13 PM

NICE. It's ROOTBEER brown, not poo-poo brown, of course we called the brown one we had TURDY for some reason besides performance factors.
Did he just paint around the plasti-chrome on the grill or did he paint a silver as well. Definitely nice.

Sloan · 03-12-2004, 05:08 AM

Kief, what's up? The price was based on the fact that I'm friends with the guys wife and that he was going to paint my 69 Charger also.

As far as interior work, I believe that place is called North Hollywood Upholstery, I'll check and make sure this evening.

It's friday and I'm not going to get off work at 7am saturday morning, sometimes the movie business sucks.
